The all-time playoff batting leader is a 92-year-old retired cardiologist and former president of the American League and the Texas Rangers who played his last game more than 62 years ago. Robert William Brown, aka Bobby and the Doctor, spent his short career with the Yankees, played for five World Series champions and batted .439 in the World Series, the all-time best amongst players who have at least 40 postseason plate appearances.

Brown spent eight seasons with the Yankees before retiring in 1954 at the age of 29. The left-hand hitting Brown played both shortstop and third base for New York and would up a solid .279 career hitter. But it was in the postseason that Bobby Brown shined.

In 1947, Brown hit .300 in 69 games, and played a key role when the Yankees beat the Brooklyn Dodgers in a seven-game World Series. Brown, just 22 at the time, pinch-hit four times and he came through with two doubles, a single and a walk. His double in the fourth inning of Game Seven tied the score and sent the eventual winning run to third base.

In the 1949 World Series, Brown batted .500 with six hits in twelve at-bats, including a double and two triples, and he drove in five runs. The Yankees beat the Dodgers in five games.

Then in 1950, when the Yankees swept the Phillies in the Series, the Doctor went 4-for-12, with a double and a triple.

The next season brought a fourth trip to the World Series for Brown. In five games, he had five hits in 14 at-bats for a .357 average. The Yankees defeated the New York Giants in six games. By age 26, Bobby Brown had four World Series rings.

Brown won a fifth ring with the 1952 Yankees, but before the season ended he was off to Tulane medical school.

Second on the all-time post-season batting list is Colby Rasmus, who played with Houston in 2015 and before that St. Louis in 2009. Although Rasmus never played in a World Series, he compiled a .423 playoff mark.

Pepper Martin of the Gashouse Gang Cardinals, aka the Wild Horse of the Osage, hit .500 in the 1931 World Series and .355 in 1934 to lead St. Louis to a pair of seven-game victories.

Hall of Famers Lou Brock (.391) and Ryan Sandberg (.385) rank eighth and ninth respectively on the top 10 list.

The Chicago Cubs aren’t the only MLB team with a long World Series drought. The Cleveland Indians, who captured the American League pennant, haven’t won a World Series since 1948.

Although the Tribe’s streak pales in comparison to the Cubbies, who haven’t won since 1908, it’s still the second longest championship drought in baseball history.

Baseball fans across America are praying for a Cleveland-Chicago World Series, since once of those two franchises will finally get off the schneid.

When the Indians last won in 1948, Harry S. Truman was POTUS, Gentleman’s Agreement starring Gregory Peck won the Oscar for Best Picture, and pacifist leader Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated.

That year Cleveland defeated the Red Sox in a one-game playoff at Fenway Park to determine to AL pennant winner. The Indians then went on to beat the Boston Braves in six games in the first World Series to be televised nationwide. Outfielder Larry Doby hit .318 to pace the Tribe, while Bob Lemon won both of his starts, including the Game 6 clincher.

The Indians won AL pennants in 1954, 1995 and 1997, but lost the World Series both times.

You have to go back 108 years to find the last time the Cubs won a World Series. In 1908, when Chicago beat the Detroit Tigers in five games for its second straight title. The Peerless Leader, Frank Chance, managed the Cubs that season and also led all batters with a .421 average. Mordecai “Three Finger” Brown and Orval Overall each won a pair of games.

The Cubs last visit to the World Series came in 1945, 71 years ago, when they lost to the Tigers in seven games. Chicago also advanced to the Fall Classic in 1910, 1918, 1929, 1932, 1935, and 1938, only to lose each time.

The Los Angeles Dodgers, currently battling the Cubs in the NLCS, also have a long championship drought. LA last appeared in the World Series in 1988, when they beat the Oakland A’s in five games.

In their first three decades in Los Angeles, the transplanted Brooklynites went to the World Series nine times, winning five. But it’s been 28 years since the Dodgers’ last title.
